Yes, it is the normal default for messages to not be sent back to the sender.
There are a couple of listserv commands to alter that:
"
You can also tell LISTSERV how you want it
to confirm the receipt of messages you send to the list. If you do not
trust the system, send a "SET L-CAD REPRO" command and LISTSERV will send
you a copy of your own messages, so that you can see that the message was
distributed and did not get damaged on the way. After a while you may
find that this is getting annoying, especially if your mail program does
not tell you that the message is from you when it informs you that new
mail has arrived from L-CAD. If you send a "SET L-CAD ACK NOREPRO"
command, LISTSERV will mail you a short acknowledgement instead, which
will look different in your mailbox directory. With most mail programs
you will know immediately that this is an acknowledgement you can read
later. Finally, you can turn off acknowledgements completely with "SET
L-CAD NOACK NOREPRO".
